yellow alert, strong winds, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the West, South and South-East

Tropical Storm, Bheki, continues to influence the weather this Friday and the coming weekend. A yellow alert, strong winds, was issued at 6:28 a.m. by Météo-France La Réunion for the West (Saint-Leu, Trois-Bassins, Saint-Paul, Le Port and La Possession), the South (Saint-Pierre, Le Tampon, L'Entre-Deux, Saint-Louis, Cilaos, L'Étang-Salé, Les Avirons and Petite-Île) and the South-East (Saint-Philippe and Saint Joseph). These towns are likely to be swept by gusts of 80 km/h from the coast to the ridges. Vigilance begins at 9 a.m. It should end at 9 p.m., depending on forecasters' observations.

The sky is overcast, sometimes dark and rainy, yet this Friday, November 22, 2024 the weather will be hot and muggy. The ambient humidity linked to the tropical system Bheki is installed for the day, or even for the weekend. The meteor moves away. It was located at 4:43 a.m., 115 km from our coast and continued its route at 22 km/h in the West-South-West direction, specifies the editors of Météo-France La Réunion. It is still at the tropical storm stage, but is expected to become a filling depression this Saturday, November 23, 2024.

Sometimes sustained rain is forecast in the North and the interior, from morning to evening. The sun does not completely disappear. Its presence, sometimes fleeting, works to increase temperatures by accentuating ambient humidity.

The general flow from the North to North-West sector is quite strong. Powerful gusts (80 km/h) rise from the coast towards the ridges in the communes of the South-East, South and West, hence the yellow alert, strong winds, issued at 6:28 a.m. this Friday morning. The North and East will be spared.

Your feelings are not wrong. It's very hot. A heat accentuated by the humidity of the air. Thermometers will indicate 32, even 33°C along the East Coast. They will rise to 34°C in the Pont-Mathurin sector. Of the “maximum temperatures high and well above seasonal norms”note the forecasters.

The sea is slightly rough to rough, from Grande-Chaloupe to Pointe-au-Sel. It is strong in other sectors. The South-East swell is dampening (2 meters during the day).
